    Saul had made others suffer for the name, now he would suffer for the name. The Lord showed him these things as his life unfolded, not all at once. He must suffer, for the Lord would be with him and give him the strengh to endure it. This is a great lesson for Christians today. If one would follow Jesus,he must be willing to suffer for the Name. The name is Jesus. Unless one is willing to suffer for him, he is not worthy to be called his follower. ( Matthew 16: 24-26).

    Wow! your answer was stated so much better than mine. God bless you. The kind of suffering we will suffer is nothing compaired to Jesus' pain and anguish.

    Super sticky and brilliantly shiny GOLD STAR!

    Because Saul who became Paul after this had been killing and imprisoning Christian Jews and Gentiles.
